92 ex 4.0 to 87 BII 2.9 swap

[unoleisu]

Oh, yeah, I didn't take that first job. It wasn't a good fit. I stayed where I was, but then found this job. My wife was driving up here every day to work, and this new job for me is between here and Guthrie. It made $ sense to move up here after all. So....
SURPRISE!!!!
I'm presently at the south end of town.

Well I'm glad you got moved and got a job. Not sure how much I can help but holler if you need me.

A lady decided to total my lil tan B2 last Sunday while she was looking for her phone.

So I'm down to one bronco. I'm rewiring the back of my other B2 and replacing the gas tank.

Country, Time IS OF THE ESSANCE, but, what do you NEED for that? I have a 85 BII and whats left of a 92 EXP still at the old place (Luther) and you can have anything you want frome those FREE his weekend. Call the number I listed last on the OK list, and I will make a plan with you. (I have 2 BII gas tanks there)

 

[country0001]

I have an extra gas tank. I'm waiting on insurance now. If you wanna see what's left of my B2. Its at a wrecker yard in Wellston. Just west of the dollar general.
I've been waiting on my mood being right to work on blue.

Lil tan was my DD. I was planning on doing my d35 swap and 1354 tcase swap.

To replace it. I'm thinking bout going with a ranger. Ill still have a B2

Country, I saw it there this last wekend, sorry it was yours. What happened? Can you save anything special from it to swap over to something else?

 

[country0001]

It got hit pretty hard. There is one good tire on it left. It tore the driveshaft in half. Im not sure of the condition of the engine, tranny or tcase. It was a 2.9/fm146/1350m.
It had manual windows on it. It was an awesome lil truck. The 2.9 didn't even tick.

Worst of all, it had a full tank of gas..........

 

[unoleisu]

I hope no one was hurt! I guess the 4.0 is in the other one, right? Shame to waste a full tank of gas like that. Hope she enjoyed her phone call.

 

[country0001]

So........ how is the swap going?

 

[FrankBoss]

Watching this thread myself ! I have a 86 2.3L to do this 4.0L swap on as soon as I get the doner.
I want to pick your brain on my 8.8 swap as well.

[unoleisu]

yeah, it's at a momentary standstill. catching up on stuff. I had a glitch in the daily rider bike issue, (it has four carbs and one wasn't performing right) but just need to get tags caught up and insurance, now.

Frankboss, what do you need to know about the 8.8 swap? aside from flipping the spring perches, and doing drive shaft, it's not very difficult.

I'm working on my swap right now. 94'Ranger 2wd into my 87 BII 4wd. Swapped in the trans. from a 4wd explorer.
I swapped in the dash, steering column,steering box,harnesses,everything I could from the ranger. I've got the motor,trans,and t-case in. Dash is in.
The wiring is kickin my ass right now lol. Seems like I'm missing something...too bad the donor truck is already gone..
